    Generative linguistics emerged in the 19th century with Chomsky's theory. It aims to understand how linguistic knowledge is acquired and represented. Morphology is the study of the internal structure of words and how they are formed from morphemes. There are different types of morphological systems across languages, including isolating, agglutinative, fusional, and polysynthetic. Morphology varies in prominence between languages, with some using inflection and others using separate words to convey meanings like plurality.

    MORPHOLOGY

    I WAYAN BUDIARTA
    The Emerge of Morphology
    The study of morphology emerged in
    the nineteenth century when Chomsky
    introduced the Generative Linguistics
    Theory.
    Chomsky (in Katamba, 1993) stated
    that the main objective of generative
    linguistics is to understand the nature
    of linguistic knowledge and how it is
    acquired by infants.
    Moreover, generative linguistics has the
    central goal to determine what people
    know about one particular language.
    According to Chomsky, knowing a
    langauge involves having the ability to
    produce and understand a vast
    number of utterence of language that
    one may never have been produced or
    heard before.
    There are many definition on morphology,
    some of them are:
     Morphology is the study of word formation,

    including the ways new words are coined in


    the languages of the world, and the way
    forms of words are varied depending on how
    they’re used in sentences (Lieber, 2009 : 1).
     Hasplemath (2002 : 1), morphology is the

    study of the internal structure of words.


    Moreover he added that morphological
    analysis typically consists of the
    identification of parts of words, or, more
    technically, constituents of words.
     Matthew conveyed that morphology is the
    study on word form. Crystal (1980: 232-
    233), stated that morphology is branch of
    linguistics which analyze the structure and
    word form, mainly through the using of
    morpheme. Moreover, He added that
    morphology can be divided into two fields,
    inflectional morphology and derivational
    morphology.

     Kridalaksana stated that morphology is part


    of linguistics which study morpheme and its
    combination.
     Bauer (1983: 33) explained that morphology
    describe the internal structure of the word
    form. Furthermore, Bauer (1983) divided
    morphology into two, inflectional
    morphology and word formation (lexical
    morphology)
     Katamba (1993:3). He stated that

    morphology is the study of internal structure


    of words. Among those definition on
    morphology above, morphology is basically
    the study on the internal structure of words.
    This means that morphology will analyze
    how word is structured or formed and what
    element (morpheme) forms the word.
     When we analyze the aspect of
    morphology of one language, we
    should be able to identify the type of
    the language that we are going to
    study. Traditionally, morphological
    typology can be classified into (1)
    isolation, (2) aglutination, (3) fusion,
    and, (4) polysynthetic.
    Isolation
     Does not have morphological form
     One to one correspondence relation
     Each word might consist of more than

    one syllabic, but the limitation of each


    morpheme is always clear.
     Does not have morphological variation

    to express tense or other formation


    Aglutination
     One word consist of more than one
    morpheme
     The limitation of word or morpheme

    is always clear
     Each morpheme always has variation

    ( form variation)
     Sound identification is easy to be

    comprehended
    Fusion
     There is no a strict limitation among
    morphemes
     Morpheme cannot be segmented
     Expression from different category in

    the same word fuses and becomes a


    single form
    Polysynthetic
     It’s
    impossible to combine with many
    morphemes, generally one lexical and
    one grammatical morpheme
     Each sentence consist of one word,

    one word consist of several


    morphemes to express the meaning.
     Morphology is not equally prominent in all
    (spoken) languages. What one language
    expresses morphologically may be
    expressed by a separate word or left
    implicit in another language. For example,
    English expresses the plural of nouns by
    means of morphology (nut/nuts,
    night/nights, and so on), but Yoruba (a
    language of south-western Nigeria) uses a
    separate word for expressing the same
    meaning
